About me

Hello, I’m Jen, an experienced online and face-to-face counsellor based in Amersham. I’m glad you’re here. If you’re feeling unhappy, lost or stuck in life, I can help.

I work with a range of people who come to therapy for many different reasons, but I’m particularly interested in helping individuals navigate through life transitions. Events such as marriage, divorce, childbirth, relocation, job loss, illness or bereavement can trigger profound feelings of anxiety and uncertainty. Even welcome and desired changes in our lives can bring up ambivalent feelings that may be hard to deal with.

You may also be at a point where you’re asking yourself some profound questions or yearning for more in life. Whether it’s at midlife, quarter-life, or any other stage of life, if you’re struggling with your identity, sense of self, and life choices, you’re not alone.

As an expat of 13 years, I also support people who are part of the international community. Whatever the reason you’ve relocated, I understand that you might be struggling with loneliness, anxiety and self-doubt, with the added complexities of cultural adjustment, homesickness, and the challenges of life in a different country.

How I can help

Have you been struggling lately – or for a long time – with any of these?

  • Anxiety, stress, and feeling overwhelmed
  • Low mood or depression, even if you're not sure why
  • Feeling different, perhaps as if something is wrong with you
  • Difficulty building and maintaining meaningful relationships
  • Self-criticism and comparing yourself with others
  • Overthinking and perfectionist tendencies
  • People-pleasing and difficulty setting healthy boundaries
  • Guilt, shame, and regrets – the ‘what-ifs’ and ‘should-haves’
  • Struggling with your identity, sense of self, and life choices
  • Loneliness, homesickness and cultural adjustment
  • Hidden or unvalidated grief, or grieving from afar

If so, you don’t have to manage on your own. I offer a space and a quality of attention that can help you make sense of things, understand yourself better, and resolve complicated feelings.

You might want to develop clarity in your thoughts and trust in yourself, feel more in control of your life, or feel lighter in knowing that you’ll be okay even if things are not okay. I’ll support you in finding ways to navigate the road ahead in a way that aligns with your values and aspirations.

Take the first step

I offer a free 15-minute introductory call for us to see if we may be the right fit. I always respond to any enquiries, so please get in touch to learn more about how I might be able to help or to book a session.

Training, qualifications & experience

  • Level 4 Diploma, Therapeutic Counselling
  • MEd, Social Science Education
  • BA(Hons), History

Prior to setting up my private practice, I enjoyed a varied career in higher education and professional regulation. I worked closely with lawyers and academics and understand the pressure they're under to perform at a high level.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).

Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.

Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.

All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Key details

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
